Can't say for others, but personally, I'm very used to how Doom MIDIs sound on the Windows synth. The instruments from the default soundbank fit the Doom atmosphere quite well, or at least that's what I feel. However, I'm not in favor of supporting deprecated technologies either, so I went ahead and managed to find an SF2 soundfont that sounds exactly like the Windows synth. I don't exactly remember where I found it, though. It seems to be a direct conversion of the default GM.DLS soundbank, which comes with Windows. I'm not sure if it's legal to distribute it openly - if it is, then I can post a link here.
